Interesting, I'll have a go at it.

I think I said I'd pay you if you were able to fix this.  Or maybe that was 
matju.  Either
way if it's fixed I'll pay you for it.

To be honest, I have no earthly idea why I care so much about this feature.  
Perhaps
it's from going through the hamster-wheel of externals all written just to get 
the args
list when this is all that is needed to solve all but the exotic cases.
